My special find in Bellevue, thanks YELP! We arrived to a small line, not to worry, we were seated quickly. Super friendly and attentive staff. Kept my coffee cup full. I really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. Will definitely return to this little gem founded 50 years ago. Yummy �
Possibly my favorite breakfast place of all time. Not for trendy or hip recipes. Certainly not for healthy ones. But for great comfort food breakfasts... fried potatoes, omelets, and of course, biscuits and gravy, you just can't beat it. Any time I'm in the Seattle area, you can find me here for at least one breakfast.
Incredible service, restaurant was packed and we received our food less than 5 minutes after ordering. Our coffees never went less then half empty before our server came around to refill them. Food was great, portions were great and the prices were very reasonable
Very delicious breakfast! Very attentive on the coffee refills, good place to get breakfast with family. Yummy cinnamon rolls
I have to say that the food was good and I was not expecting the size of the pancake to be that size. Wow. Cool place. I give it a yeaaaaaaah! 👍👍👍
Always a great place for breakfast. Chicken fried steak and eggs yum...
A few time a week Lil Jon pours my wife a wine and feeds her so I don't have too. Sometimes I join her, always a great experience. Weekend breakfast beats them all as well, not too many family breakfast restaurants with a side bar anymore
One of my favorite breakfast "diners!" Great place for a classic breakfast. Service is always A+
I found this restaurant on my search for a giant cinnamon roll following months of strict eating for a bodybuilding competition the night prior. I drove out of my way home to get takeout and eat as I continued my trip home. I am SO SO happy I did and I plan to visit as often as I can!
I ordered at the front desk and it was probably the quickest service I've ever received. Once I placed my order they quickly returned within 5-10 minutes with my to-go cinnamon roll and biscuits and gravy meal. Photos with plastic fork for size reference of cinnamon roll. Both the meal and the cinnamon roll were absolutely amazing and I can't wait to visit again!
I just had such a great first experience at Lil John’s. Walked into a packed, lively restaurant, was greeted immediately, and invited to sit at the counter since I was by myself and there were no tables available. An ice water was popped in front of me right away, my order taken as soon as I had decided (chicken fried steak) and the food was delivered a surprising three minutes later. Everything was piping hot and fresh, so they must have a great system back there to get food out quickly. It was delicious!! I loved the food, the vibe, and the quick and friendly service. It seems like good service in restaurants is getting kind of rare with all the staffing issues, but here they had plenty of staff ready to take care of you. I cannot believe I’ve lived around here my whole life and never knew this gem existed! I will definitely be back very soon!
Our American brunch spot on the eastside.
The Breakfast Sandwich with a delicious Sausage Patty, Egg & Cheese on an English Muffin is something I can eat all day!
Liked their Veggie omelet with all veggies which comes with Hashbrowns and buttered toast!. Liked the omelet when dining in than the one I had during take-out.
The least favorite was the Chicken Sandwich, the fried chicken was a little dry and not to our liking.
plenty of parking options available!
Classic Restaurant. Burgers, fries, breakfast. Arrive before 8am on a weekend or you will hit a rush. Good for groups of 2-4 ppl. However there is some room for larger groups to the left of the entrance.
I had NO idea this place existed. Pulling into the parking lot for a strip mall, the retro 60's Era sign caught my attention. The building design looked like a cross between Samba's, Denny's and Howard Johnson's it had that vibe of a highway diner that should be part of a chain now long forgotten, but somehow missed the notice that they should have gone out of business decades ago.
And you will be happy they are still around. The red vinyl seats, the clink of dishes, the hub bub of diners as they casually chat intermingled with the happy laugh of a child someplace. Hearty meals, excellent quality and an atmosphere that made you *PART OF* the nearly Norman Rockwell experience.
The food is excellent. The sort of good food that a belch two hours later has you smiling in memory. I eagerly look forward to my next visit.
Five stars is not enough to properly thank this establishment for their performance.
